7thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068: “2It shall not standH6965 norH3808 shall it comeH1961 to passH1961. 8For the headH7218 of AramH758 is 3DamascusH1834 and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526 (now within anotherH5750 65H8346H2568 yearsH8141 EphraimH669 will be shatteredH2865, so that it is noH4480 longer a peopleH5971), 9and the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111 and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. 4IfH518 you will not believeH539, you surelyH3588 shall not 5lastH539.”’”

10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 againH3254 to AhazH271, sayingH559, 11“AskH7592 a 6signH226 for yourself from the LordH3068 your GodH430; 7makeH6009 it deepH6009 as SheolH7585 orH176 highH1361 as 8heavenH4605.” 12But AhazH271 saidH559, “I will not askH7592, norH3808 will I testH5254 the LordH3068!” 13Then he saidH559, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, O 9houseH1004 of DavidH1732! Is it tooH4480 slightH4592 a thingH4592 for you to tryH3811 the patienceH3811 of menH376, that you will 10tryH3811 the patienceH3811 of 11my GodH430 as wellH1571? 14ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 HimselfH1931 will giveH5414 you a signH226: BeholdH2009, 12a 13virginH5959 will be with childH2030 and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and she will callH7121 His nameH8034 1415ImmanuelH6005. 15He will eatH398 16curdsH2529 and honeyH1706 17at the time He knowsH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896. 1618For beforeH2962 the boyH5288 will knowH3045 enough to refuseH3988 evilH7451 and chooseH977 goodH2896, 19the landH127 whoseH834 twoH8147 kingsH4428 you dreadH6973 will be forsakenH5800.
